Very nice. I bet that Elinox has the unpolished tools (caplifter/can opener), too, right?

Santos, sorry I don't have a story.  Just snowed in today so I'm taking some pictures.

No this is just a two layer knife so it have no openers.

This is the knife opened, i used it with the lights for a size reference.

I have that silver one, and was astonished at the strength of the LED inside. It made me rethink about all the cheap LED flashlights I have and how useless most of them are in comparison.

Careful, that's a VERY slippery slope :o

Just blow all your money on a Surefire.  That way you have no money left, and you have the best without having the need to buy anymore.

Worked for me.  :D
I'm back!!

It would be hard to beat my Energizer Hard Case Pro Spot for my needs. I love the form factor, and its big enough I don't misplace it like I do with the smaller ones. No worries about my wanting a Surefire.  :cheers:

Those Vic branded 2AA, 2AAA, and 2C lights are actually made by Inova here in the USA, IIRC, and Inova makes pretty good lights.

The top tier Inovas are comparable to Surefire for robustness and are used by cops, military, and government agencies.

Even the less expensive Inovas have a reputation for relibility and toughness.

I have a couple 2AA Vic flashlights in silver that I got in a Farmer/Flashlight combo cheap.  They are decent lights but I wish they had tailcap clickers on them.
